Daily Reflections, 25 July 2023. Feast of St James, Apostle.

Self- sacrifice

St James, Apostle of the Lord, teaches us that true greatness is not found in seeking positions of honour and power. Rather we must humbly carry the treasure of God's love within our fragile hearts. Saint James' strong faith and devotion remind us every encounter with Christ is powerful. It liberates and restores our souls.

Every Apostle has something to tach us: the life of a disciple must be a life of selfless service, joyous trust in God's providence, and accepting and embracing our weakness as a vessel for divine grace.

Lord Jesus teach us at all times that true discipleship means means: humble service and self-sacrifice.

St James, pray for us!
